From Meow Nui Warm-Ups to National Arenas
The November tour follows a sudden live comeback that caught local audiences by surprise. According to reporting from 1News, McKenzie and Clement surprised Wellington in April with five shows at Meow Nui. Those intimate gigs marked their first live performances following an eight-year hiatus and sold out within minutes, sparking a ticket frenzy among fans. Ticketmaster notes that those warm-up dates immediately preceded two sold-out performances at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre as part of the Netflix Is A Joke Fest.
Pro Tip: According to Ticketmaster instructions, all tickets for the upcoming tour are strictly digital and accessible only via the Ticketmaster App. Fans must create a My Ticketmaster account and keep their phones nearby to receive sign-in verification codes during the purchase window.
Global Legacy of McKenzie and Clement
According to historical profile data, the comedy duo rose to worldwide fame off the back of their self-titled HBO comedy series, generating cult hits like “Business Time” and “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros.” Their upcoming November dates mark their first full domestic routing since 2012.
